19.01.2022 As of today all dog parks, skate parks, playgrounds and drinking fountains in the city of stirling will be closed to prevent the spread of covid 19. This is in ...line with the recent federal government guidelines. Parks, reserves and beaches will remain open. I believe signage will begin to go up around the city to notify the public of this. Hopefully the community will practice physical distancing when walking around the reserve so we can keep visiting the green spaces vital to our mental and physical health. Take Care See more

17.01.2022 We have asked the City of Stirling to remove this Norfolk Island Pine from the Trigg Beach Bush Forever Area 308. This tree is endemic to Norfolk Island and un...like native shrubs and trees, it does not provide a habitat for birds or wildlife, or produce nectar for birds and insects. It is well known that this tree uses considerable ground water. No response yet. See more

17.01.2022 Happy Easter to all WA Landcarers. Hoping the Easter Bilby got through those regional borders and brought you all some lovely treats. Enjoy your lockdown Easter with the family and a well earned break. From all at WA Landcare Network.

14.01.2022 Welcome to the very first #WeeklyWeed #kikuyu @Friendsofmosmanpark will be uploading a new Weekly Weed every Tuesday to share with our followers information ...on native weeds that are threatening our beautiful #waecosystem. Tune in every Tuesday to learn about a new weed so you can practice conservation independently, spot them while out on a walk or simply expand your knowledge of the environment you live in #whynot. We hope to continue our Friday Busy Bee Sessions once its safe and are working on virtual interactive ways to keep you learning about the #environment! The Kikuyu Lawn: This week's weed is the kikuyu lawn. It is a vigorous deep rooted creeping plant which is either used as a lawn or on #WA southern farms as a pasture. It was planted to provide areas for recreation. It has overstepped its mark! It's aggressive nature smothers other seedlings or robs moisture from other plants. If it gets inundated with brackish river water during winter it will die leaving bare areas where salt tolerant plants would have provided #habitat for #wildlife. #weed #conservation #busybee #enviroment #mosmanpark #careingforcountry

13.01.2022 We had a small group of Friends of Warwick taken on a tour on the Jarrah Trail. Covid 19 under 10 people till tomorrow. Special thanks to Mark Brundrett and Karen Clarke for answering all our many questions. Hare orchids we would have missed seeing without help. Thanks Mark.

09.01.2022 This week's #WeeklyWeed #FountainGrass What is their crime? Suppressing and replacing native vegetation Fountain Grass is tough and drought-tolerant, it is... known to alter nutrient cycling. It can strongly compete against natives and seeds fly away while persisting for over 10 years. With great emphasis on the tragedies this past year, Fountain grass is a terrible fire hazard and so can damage nearby natural communities. Now that you know, don't forget to weed them out!

08.01.2022 If you haven't already commented on the APVMA's review of the regulations on rodenticides across Australia, please have a look at the convenient form that Birdl...ife has put together to make it easier. This is a great chance to make a positive direct change to help native birds and marsupial carnivores like quolls and Tasmanian devils. See more

08.01.2022 New children's activities on our website! Botanist and educator Bronwen Keighery has materials created for her own grandkids and is sharing with us. This firs...t activity - the Life Cycle of a Sunflower - can be adapted for use with young children as well as older kids, with some challenging suggestions in the activity sheet. See it on our website at http://www.wildflowersocietywa.org.au//resources-for-teac/. See more

07.01.2022 This week's #WeeklyWeed #MorningGlory Morning glory was introduced as a garden plant but now Ipomoea Indica (scientific name) presents a big problem to ou...r bushlands and to Mosman Park. These purple flowers appear in spring and summer so their time is NOW everybody! Why are they necessary to get rid of? Since they can be quite problematic to get rid of, the key is to refrain from planting them in the first place! For all those looking for a solution, a common suggestion one is told is that if you are pulling out, new vines will grow if there are still some remains left behind! The best way is to spray with herbicides, remove the remains a week or so later and then spray new shoots with herbicides again immediately and REPEAT. Also, remember that it is a mass seeder so the prunings have to go into the landfill bin! It can take up to a year or so to get rid of these bad boys! But it will be worth it to have all that area for something else.
